They wanna rock! **Twisted Sister** plan to reunite for a 50th anniversary world tour in 2026, as revealed by the members of the band in a press release.

While no dates have been announced, each core member of the legendary rock act issued a statement to express their excitement for the impending outing.

Founding guitarist and manager **Jay Jay French** reflected on the milestone: "Beginning on February 2nd, 1976 in a little bar called The Turtleneck Inn in Hunter Mountain, NY, **Dee Snider**, **Eddie Ojeda** and I have called ourselves **Twisted Sister** and stood shoulder to shoulder for nearly five decades, through multiple personnel changes and thousands of performances. We are proud to celebrate a milestone that once felt unthinkable: a 50-year anniversary!! We have created a music and performance legacy that has and will continue to inspire millions of fans around the world. Twisted Forever, Forever Twisted!"

Lead guitarist **Eddie Ojeda** added: "Fifty years on, and **Twisted Sister** is still the soundtrack for every rebel with a reason and a reason to turn it up."

But it was **Dee Snider** who raised the horns highest: "If you're lucky enough to be in a band that people still want to see after fifty years(!), how can you not answer the call? In 2026, **Twisted Fucking Sister** will hit stages around the world because WE STILL WANNA ROCK!!"

The band last toured in 2016 with drummer **Mike Portnoy** following the tragic death of longtime sticksman **A.J. Pero**. For this anniversary run, they'll welcome back **Joe "Seven" Franco** on drums, returning to the fold for the first time since recording and touring *Love Is For Suckers* in 1987, with **Russell Pzütto** on bass, a familiar face from **Snider**'s solo projects and previous **Twisted Sister** appearances.
